this is so nostalgic. tumblr rolls out something terrible. everyone complains. it breaks several people’s dashboards. for some reason it only rolls out to a few people at a time with seemingly no warning. the community collectively and immediately searches for a browser extension that undoes the change. i know we’ve all gotten burnt out on all social media sucking but this is genuinely The tumblr experience. everyone who hasn’t gotten it already gets an achievement. welcome to the club
so SAG-AFTRA finally released some official guidance for fans, viewers, creators/influencers, critics, and more during the strike. here’s what you need to know:
if you see a publication/news source/journalist talking about a piece of struck work, that’s ok. they’re allowed to do that.
2. they’re asking regular viewers and fans to DONATE TO STRIKE FUNDS, SHOW UP TO PICKETS IF YOU CAN, and please do NOT boycott streaming services or movies in theaters.
3. influencers, content creators, cosplayers, and anything in between is still a bit of a grey area, but they’re asking people to use their best judgement. “organically” means UNPAID promo (like an invite to a premiere without being paid, being sent a publicity box, letting the company’s social media post a photo of you in cosplay, etc).
obviously this doesn’t answer every question, and isn’t hard and fast rules for fanworks, but it can at least inform how you personally choose to move forward when posting online and moving publically. i hope this helps!
holy shit this kid who took down the PRESIDENT OF STANFORD is an EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD FRESHMAN????? imagine being the president of an elite university with a celebrated scientific career and you get taken down by a TEENAGER writing for the student paper of your own university who broke a story about decades of data manipulation and scientific misconduct that led to an eight-month investigation (which itself was riddled with issues that the same student reporter also continued to expose). imagine being on the board of trustees or in any other position of leadership at this institution and watching this teenager clown on you for not being able to do your fucking jobs. he had to lay it all out on a fucking platter for you to bring it home. insane.
lmao bi flag website design… okay slay
okay so I HAD to check and
HE WAS FOUND OUT BY THE SAME SCIENTIST WHO CAUGHT THE INFAMOUS ALZHEIMER’S FRAUD !!!
her name is Elisabeth Bik and she is an absolute legend, she quit her day job to focus on combing through thousands of scientific papers a week,for no pay, to identify cases of data manipulation and scientific fraud
FYI if your employer does this, if they have done it for a long time especially, you and your coworkers could be owed huge amounts of unpaid wages and it would be an easy suit if there is a paper trail like this and your employer is placing strict requirements on your behavior while not at work. Employment lawyers generally work on contingency. Just food for thought.
Echoing that. I used to work for Victoria’s Secret and they’d pull this shit. They got sued and subsequently very easily lost that suit. Guess what retailer very swiftly did away with on-call shifts after having to pay out unpaid wages in a costly lawsuit?
y’all are NOT ready for the juxtaposition of the sun to result in the northern and southern hemispheres splitting in climate one hot one cold that will cause the manifestation of chilly willy and chilli billi in the north and south pole and it shows
The fact that Beretta sells a Bobcat with a factory threaded barrel is so fucking funny to me
The 21A in its designed role as a pocket pistol makes complete sense, even if you don’t agree with it. It’s tiny and lightweight and you can carry it basically anywhere and it makes a really loud bang when you put holes in stuff. Sick. Put a can on it and it’s none of that anymore, and you can’t even use the sights. There is literally zero practical application for this gun other than murdering somebody in the back of the head from muzzle contact. This is a gun for villains. This is a machine for a guy with a grudge and a plan. It’s so fucking funny I love devices with no purpose but harm.
I watched a video about this one time where a guy said he pocket carried one with a can on and loaded with rat shot so that while he was walking his dog in his Florida suburb he could dispatch venomous snakes “without disturbing the neighbors” which is objectively funny as hell to imagine
The global cultural exchange brought on by the internet is beautiful because for the first time in history it is relatively normal for ohioan teenagers to develop extremely unhealthy romantic yearnings for lithe wuxia men trapped inside digital casinos
phrenologist measuring your skull for hours before setting the calipers down, thoughtfully stroking his chin before leaving the room, coming back with a can of cola. wordlessly drinking the whole thing in like 2 or three prolongued gulps before sliding the cold empty can along your forehead and having it create a perfect vacuum seal . and when you try to unstick it he gets angry
also im growing to hate the phrase “hold accountable” in discourse because its always so…. empty? like you see people saying “sure this person apologized, but we need to hold them accountable!” like cool. what does that mean. how can you get any more accountable than a public apology. do you want them to apologize… again? more? get a tattoo explaining their crimes so everyone they meet is informed? do you want accountability or are you repeating buzzwords because you cant find a nice way to say you just want them to disappear.
Yeah sorry man I know I was the projected face trapped in your cursed ring for a while. I hope you didn’t take any of that advice I gave you about how to divvy up your estate I didn’t know what the fuck I was talking about
